It is surprising people don't get this dynamic. Extremely strong leaders are rare. And the market pays them for that skill.

That’s what a Fortune 500 CEO would have you believe. There are over a billion English speakers in the world and you don’t think there are at least thousands of people (who aren’t already overpaid CEOs) that could be doing a better job than Iger, or any given Fortune 500 CEO for that matter?

100s - probably yes. 1000s - absolutely not. Please help find those 1000 potential CEOs and pay them lower salary and see if the company still succeeds. Otherwise, you pay CEOs for the skill and experience they bring and keep them for the impact they make.
